1987 GRAND NATIONAL T-TOPS WITH 7,700 ACTUAL MILES FOR SALE -
Here is a chance to own a really nice example that has had excellent care for the last 33 plus years by 3 owners. I am selling this for a customer of ours. I actually met him a few years back at a GTO car show where he had this car on display.
He is in the process of moving to Florida and would rather sell his car than transport it to Florida. With the car goes a complete 3-ring binder with most of the original 1987 Buick dealer brochures, the original window sticker, the certificate of origin, letters from Buick and recall notifications, and magazine articles.
Here is a list of the options: T-tops, power door locks, power windows, tinted glass, power trunk release, body side molding, 2-speed wipers, posi rear, headlights on indicator, am/fm cassette player, power antenna, rear defogger, tilt column, 6-way power driver's seat, and door edge guards. The sticker price in 1987 was $18,392.00.
The car is in my possession. Here is my overall review. The car has had excellent care its entire life. Garaged as each owner was a true car collector. The body and paint is as close to perfect as you will find. Not one single ding anywhere. The wheels if I had GM boxes I could sell them for new. Interior is exactly as you would expect for 7,700 miles like new in every regard and smells new. Even the dash panel is not cracked. Spare and jack have never been disturbed. Trunk ID label is perfect as are the 2 labels on the drivers door as well as the visor decal.
The doors shut like a brand new car. Car shows no signs of ever being driven hard. I test drove the car drives tight and rattle free. The transmission shifts nice and strong. Power windows are slow as expected. The power antenna is the only non working part on the car to my knowledge.
The underside of the car. The entire underside is very clean, the gas tank is still bright silver. Exhaust is 100% original with a few pin size holes in the original muffler. You can still see parts of the original labels on the springs, and sway bars. Air dams are perfect and it still retains the screen in the scoop.
Here is a list of the upgrades and changes: The owner recently had brand new Bilstein shocks installed and new Michelin tires. The best of the best. A twin console gauge holder has a tach and boost gauge. It has a Grand National medallion in the center horn ring. It has the one oil fill tube we sell. The AC has been changed over to R134a. The brake system has been converted to the more practical vacuum format. It has been painted show quality. Everything else remains factory original even the 3 intercooler hoses, mass air hose, air cleaner assembly, and plug wires are factory original. If I were to box it the hood pad could be sold as new. No damage at all. Perhaps most amazing is all the factory fillers front and rear are still soft with zero cracks. They do discolor and need to be cleaned. If you do the math 7,700 miles total in 33 years the car has hardly been used.
Asking Price: $38,900
Options to purchase: JJ Best has never turned down any of my cars I have represented for the buyer. They make financing very easy especially on Grand Nationals. Also I am open to partial trades where I would buy your trade and pay that difference to the seller. I would have to see the trade in order to consider it. The trade can be virtually any muscle car or even a 1986-1987 Turbo Regal that needs attention. Also whoever does buy this Grand National will get a 10% discount on any of our website parts for the first 30 days. This gives the buyer several options.
We have taken plenty of photos this past weekend including the underside of the car when it was on my lift. For More information and detailed photos email me direct [email protected]
PHOTO 1 - We show four views of this pristine 7,700 mile original 1987 Grand National. A time capsule that can be yours to own. These cars have a proven track record of increasing in value every year.

NEW REPRODUCTION PART 1986-1987 TURBO REGAL STAINLESS TRANSMISSION COOLING LINE KIT -4 PIECES -
This may not be on our website as of yet. If not simply call our office and order it through Christina. This is made by the same company that makes our fuel lines, brake lines and several other related lines we offer. The part number is #7889. The price is $109.95. Another critical part that many of you may need.
CLICK HERE - For the link to this kit on our website.
PHOTO 4 - We show the basic 4 part kit. Like the brake lines you need to unbend as indicated on each label.
URGENT REQUEST -
We need good used steering wheel cores! To see if your core is acceptable email me [email protected] a photo prior to sending it for $100 credit. Help us help others restore their cars. We have an urgent need for good steering wheel cores.
PRODUCT UPDATE -
We are now getting rebuilt powermaster units regularly from Cardone Industries. It's best to call Christina 215-766-1611 if you need one. Also we finally are getting more brand new brake accumulator balls. Again contact Christina if you want one. It’s been several months since we were able to get rebuilt powermaster units and brake bowls.
The popular knock gauge made by caspers #1523 has been discontinued. Caspers can’t get one on the main parts to make them. However, we just received the last 5 he had in stock. We have just a few left. Call Christina at 215-766-1611 if you want one of the very last ones. The price is $125 each. We have 2 or 3 left.
We also just received our shipment of the body side molding. The #6793 priced at $49.95. This can be ordered on our website as it is in stock. Each kit comes with detailed directions for exact placement and length on the car.
WORKING ON A FEW IDEAS UPDATE -
I now have a sample of the one product. This is a product we used to sell in the early 1990s. We plan to bring it back. It fits virtually every 1984-1987 Turbo Regal. The next step is getting a quote on a quantity. The other part is made by another source, but I am looking at using different material which I feel would look better and would lower the cost factor. Watch for updates on these two parts. This other part will only fit certain Turbo Regal models 1984 though 1987. It’s tough to think of parts to make as so much has been reproduced for these cars.
AUTO EASEL CAR SHOW HOOD LATCH DISPLAY STAND - FITMENT AND UPDATE –

NOTE - ABOUT LINKS IN THE INNER CIRCLE -
We have heard from a couple people that have had problems with the links in our Inner Circle.
When we check the links, they work fine. However, if you are not able to be directed to the exact website page or internet site, you can "copy" and "paste" the link into the URL in your browser (such as Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, etc.) If it doesn't link in one browser, it may work in another.
Most people having problems are using Internet Explorer. If you are having issues with links, try another browser to see if it works.
You may need to "UPDATE" your browser to be used if you are using the current version.
NOTE ABOUT PHOTOS ON THE WEBSITE -
We have heard from a couple people that have viewed the photos on the website. Because these must be low-resolution photos to work on the Inner Circle segments on the website, any photos of text don't appear clear when enlarged. This is a problem when you are trying to see numbers, such as those on the VIN labels or pages from Options booklet. Also, because of photo reproduction and computer screen variations, the colors may not be true to the actual product or photo.
If you would like to have us email you any photo at the higher resolution for viewing, just email us and we will email them to you. Be sure to be specific on which pictures you want to see - Reference Inner Circle date and photo number 1, 2, 3 or 4 - [email protected]
ABOUT OUR EMAILS -
Any inquiries concerning used parts, you must email me directly - [email protected] - and I will answer you. However, if I fail to answer you within 24 hours, please email us again. Since expanding into used parts, I get a lot of emails and sometimes I may forget your request or may not remember who requested the item.
IN CLOSING –
Remember, on some of the above NOS items they will soon go to ebay if not sold here.
1987 GRAND NATIONAL T-TOPS WITH 7,700 ACTUAL MILES FOR SALE -
Here is a chance to own a really nice example that has had excellent care for the last 33 plus years by 3 owners. I am selling this for a customer of ours. I actually met him a few years back at a GTO car show where he had this car on display.
He is in the process of moving to Florida and would rather sell his car than transport it to Florida. With the car goes a complete 3-ring binder with most of the original 1987 Buick dealer brochures, the original window sticker, the certificate of origin, letters from Buick and recall notifications, and magazine articles.
Here is a list of the options: T-tops, power door locks, power windows, tinted glass, power trunk release, body side molding, 2-speed wipers, posi rear, headlights on indicator, am/fm cassette player, power antenna, rear defogger, tilt column, 6-way power driver's seat, and door edge guards. The sticker price in 1987 was $18,392.00.
The car is in my possession. Here is my overall review. The car has had excellent care its entire life. Garaged as each owner was a true car collector. The body and paint is as close to perfect as you will find. Not one single ding anywhere. The wheels if I had GM boxes I could sell them for new. Interior is exactly as you would expect for 7,700 miles like new in every regard and smells new. Even the dash panel is not cracked. Spare and jack have never been disturbed. Trunk ID label is perfect as are the 2 labels on the drivers door as well as the visor decal.
The doors shut like a brand new car. Car shows no signs of ever being driven hard. I test drove the car drives tight and rattle free. The transmission shifts nice and strong. Power windows are slow as expected. The power antenna is the only non working part on the car to my knowledge.
The underside of the car. The entire underside is very clean, the gas tank is still bright silver. Exhaust is 100% original with a few pin size holes in the original muffler. You can still see parts of the original labels on the springs, and sway bars. Air dams are perfect and it still retains the screen in the scoop.
Here is a list of the upgrades and changes: The owner recently had brand new Bilstein shocks installed and new Michelin tires. The best of the best. A twin console gauge holder has a tach and boost gauge. It has a Grand National medallion in the center horn ring. It has the one oil fill tube we sell. The AC has been changed over to R134a. The brake system has been converted to the more practical vacuum format. It has been painted show quality. Everything else remains factory original even the 3 intercooler hoses, mass air hose, air cleaner assembly, and plug wires are factory original. If I were to box it the hood pad could be sold as new. No damage at all. Perhaps most amazing is all the factory fillers front and rear are still soft with zero cracks. They do discolor and need to be cleaned. If you do the math 7,700 miles total in 33 years the car has hardly been used.
Asking Price: $38,900
Options to purchase: JJ Best has never turned down any of my cars I have represented for the buyer. They make financing very easy especially on Grand Nationals. Also I am open to partial trades where I would buy your trade and pay that difference to the seller. I would have to see the trade in order to consider it. The trade can be virtually any muscle car or even a 1986-1987 Turbo Regal that needs attention. Also whoever does buy this Grand National will get a 10% discount on any of our website parts for the first 30 days. This gives the buyer several options.
We have taken plenty of photos this past weekend including the underside of the car when it was on my lift. For More information and detailed photos email me direct [email protected]

This may not be on our website as of yet. If not simply call our office and order it through Christina. This is made by the same company that makes our fuel lines, brake lines and several other related lines we offer. The part number is #7889. The price is $109.95. Another critical part that many of you may need.
CLICK HERE - For the link to this kit on our website.
PHOTO 4 - We show the basic 4 part kit. Like the brake lines you need to unbend as indicated on each label.
URGENT REQUEST -
We need good used steering wheel cores! To see if your core is acceptable email me [email protected] a photo prior to sending it for $100 credit. Help us help others restore their cars. We have an urgent need for good steering wheel cores.
PRODUCT UPDATE -
We are now getting rebuilt powermaster units regularly from Cardone Industries. It's best to call Christina 215-766-1611 if you need one. Also we finally are getting more brand new brake accumulator balls. Again contact Christina if you want one. It’s been several months since we were able to get rebuilt powermaster units and brake bowls.
The popular knock gauge made by caspers #1523 has been discontinued. Caspers can’t get one on the main parts to make them. However, we just received the last 5 he had in stock. We have just a few left. Call Christina at 215-766-1611 if you want one of the very last ones. The price is $125 each. We have 2 or 3 left.
We also just received our shipment of the body side molding. The #6793 priced at $49.95. This can be ordered on our website as it is in stock. Each kit comes with detailed directions for exact placement and length on the car.
WORKING ON A FEW IDEAS UPDATE -
I now have a sample of the one product. This is a product we used to sell in the early 1990s. We plan to bring it back. It fits virtually every 1984-1987 Turbo Regal. The next step is getting a quote on a quantity. The other part is made by another source, but I am looking at using different material which I feel would look better and would lower the cost factor. Watch for updates on these two parts. This other part will only fit certain Turbo Regal models 1984 though 1987. It’s tough to think of parts to make as so much has been reproduced for these cars.
AUTO EASEL CAR SHOW HOOD LATCH DISPLAY STAND - FITMENT AND UPDATE –

NOTE - ABOUT LINKS IN THE INNER CIRCLE -
We have heard from a couple people that have had problems with the links in our Inner Circle.
When we check the links, they work fine. However, if you are not able to be directed to the exact website page or internet site, you can "copy" and "paste" the link into the URL in your browser (such as Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, etc.) If it doesn't link in one browser, it may work in another.
Most people having problems are using Internet Explorer. If you are having issues with links, try another browser to see if it works.
You may need to "UPDATE" your browser to be used if you are using the current version.
NOTE ABOUT PHOTOS ON THE WEBSITE -
We have heard from a couple people that have viewed the photos on the website. Because these must be low-resolution photos to work on the Inner Circle segments on the website, any photos of text don't appear clear when enlarged. This is a problem when you are trying to see numbers, such as those on the VIN labels or pages from Options booklet. Also, because of photo reproduction and computer screen variations, the colors may not be true to the actual product or photo.
If you would like to have us email you any photo at the higher resolution for viewing, just email us and we will email them to you. Be sure to be specific on which pictures you want to see - Reference Inner Circle date and photo number 1, 2, 3 or 4 - [email protected]
ABOUT OUR EMAILS -
Any inquiries concerning used parts, you must email me directly - [email protected] - and I will answer you. However, if I fail to answer you within 24 hours, please email us again. Since expanding into used parts, I get a lot of emails and sometimes I may forget your request or may not remember who requested the item.
